A thunderous roar swept through the sky

Inhabitants of the Yu Domain lifted their heads to see a Giant battling a black serpent.

Their fight was earth-shattering, the sky ablaze with burning flames everywhere.

After a half-day battle, the Giant wielded his shimmering long stick and struck the black serpent, which fell with raging flames and crashed into the earth, never to rise again.

The beings of the Yu Domain were shocked, then immediately erupted in excitement.

"Success!"

"The Heavenly Emperor has defeated the Black Dragon!"

Cheers and jubilations resounded across the land.

With the black serpent defeated, the danger that had loomed over their heads for tens of thousands of years had vanished.

Everyone who witnessed the black serpent's fall had eyes brimming with hot tears.

In the sky, a felicitous light emerged, surging spiritual energy, auroras coursing, displaying an incredible scene.

Immortal Zhenyuan passed through the aurora and descended to the ground.

When he found Sun Wukong, Wukong was picking up a glowing tree branch from the scorched earth.

"Brother."

Immortal looked around, asking, "But where is the Black Dragon's carcass?"

"This is it."

Sun Wukong said.

Immortal was stunned for a moment: "Isn't this just a tree branch?"

"This is his original form."

Sun Wukong replied.

The Black Dragon's powers were no match for the Buddha Beads, they posed no threat to him and were effortlessly defeated.

But Sun Wukong felt no great joy.

Too weak.

Ever since he emerged from the Chaos, he had yet to find an opponent worthy of a real battle.

"It seems there is no evil aura."

Immortal, not noticing Sun Wukong's thoughts, scrutinized the branch, which did not seem to be the Black Dragon at all.

"I have dispelled the evil aura from it."

Sun Wukong pocketed the branch, called for Immortal, and returned to Yu City with the people who had come rushing over.

In Yu City, people celebrated the defeat of the Black Dragon with drums and gongs.

As Sun Wukong flew over Yu City, every being he passed knelt in reverence.

The battle had just ended, and Sun Wukong was now enveloped in a brilliant Divine Ring.

His immortal power was not yet fully withdrawn, flames in his eyes like Star Rivers swirling, emanating a daunting majesty.

Dayu, leading civil and military officials, welcomed him outside the Imperial Palace.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong's arrival, Dayu rushed forward, reining in his joy to ask, "Heavenly Emperor, the flying mice in the cage have vanished, is this due to the Black Dragon's demise?"

"Yes."

Sun Wukong nodded.

Immediately, Dayu and the officials kneeled in worship.

"Heavenly Emperor eradicates evil and acts for the good, saving the common folk in times of peril, Dayu is eternally grateful."

Dayu said with a trembling voice; though he had endured hardships since childhood and was resolute, he couldn't help but become emotional.

The Black Dragon was annihilated.

The Yu Domain was safe.

Dayu brought out the Heavenly Emperor Jade Seal, cradled it with both hands, and presented it to Sun Wukong.

"May I?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"This is not an object for the Human Emperor to hold, nor can I use it."

Dayu replied, "If the Heavenly Emperor is willing to accept, all beings in the Yu Domain will serve thee."

Sun Wukong took the Jade Seal, watching it rejuvenate in his hands.

Merit Fire manifested in the sky, a golden dazzle like morning sun spreading. It adorned Sun Wukong and the Jade Seal he held with divine sanctity.

"Great kindness."

Sun Wukong accepted the Jade Seal.

In the following days, the Human Clan danced and sang in celebration, embracing the Yu Domain's rebirth.

Not long after, the seas at the coast began to recede!

Having confirmed the Black Dragon's death, the Human Clan expressed their tearful gratitude to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong then located the Spiritual Vein Land, opened the gates to the Blessed Land, and stepped inside.

This Langya Blessed Land was unlike any he had encountered before, for as soon as Wukong entered, he immediately heard a voice.

"How dare you! Who are you to trespass in this sacred place!"

The voice came from all directions, merging with the immortal mist.

A twinkle flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

"Could it be that an Immortal guards this Blessed Land?"

Sun Wukong felt both surprise and a hint of joy.

He reached out with a grab, invoking the Sleeve Universe, and grasped the creature hiding in the mists.

"A Heavenly Horse?"

He frowned slightly.

"I am the Golden Blood Heavenly Horse."

A tiny white horse stood in the palm of Sun Wukong, shocked as it exclaimed: "How did you suddenly grow so big?"

Sun Wukong looked into its eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not that I've grown, but that you've shrunk."

He found the Heavenly Horse adorable so he let it out of his palm, and it transformed into a five feet tall Heavenly Horse.

The Heavenly Horse looked at Sun Wukong warily but then sensed the aura of the Jade Seal, and its eyes widened.

"You are not from the Venerable's side!"

It declared.

Sun Wukong nodded: "Of course not."

"Then you must be the new Heavenly Emperor."

The Heavenly Horse spoke joyfully: "I am ordered by the Heavenly Emperor to guard this place, waiting for the new Heavenly Emperor."

"It said, "From today onwards, I will assist you in rebuilding the Heavenly Court."

"Rebuilding the Heavenly Court?"

Sun Wukong furrowed his brow.

"The Heavenly Emperor commanded me to hand this over to you."

The white horse spoke and then suddenly submerged into the mist and disappeared, only to come back again, carrying several Immortal Books in its mouth.

Sun Wukong browsed through them for a moment; the Immortal Books contained explanations and records about the ornamental columns connected to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper and also some matters regarding the Brahma Void Heavenly Court.

After reading those matters, Sun Wukong had an idea in his mind.

"I agree to rebuild the Heavenly Court."

He asked, "Is there anything else here?"

"There is nothing more."

The Heavenly Horse shook its head.

Sun Wukong then checked the ornamental columns and, with the Heavenly Horse, returned to the Imperial Palace.

"The Golden Blood Heavenly Horse!"

Nan Ming's two individuals were extremely surprised when they saw Sun Wukong return with the Heavenly Horse.

In this world, there actually still existed a living Golden Blood Heavenly Horse.

"Do you have any other companions?"

Immortal Zhenyuan circled around the Heavenly Horse a few times and then suddenly inquired.

"I do not know."

The Heavenly Horse answered.

Immortal Zhenyuan could only feel regret.

After a few days, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Wukong picked a place in the Imperial Palace rich with Spiritual Energy, and planted a sapling in the soil.

"I hope it will cultivate diligently in the future and protect all living creatures around it."

Sun Wukong said.

The Jingweis were worried: "If the Black Dragon awakens, could it threaten us?"

"It will not."

Sun Wukong replied, "The Black Dragon is dead; it no longer has any connection with the Venerable."

The Jingweis could only accept this.

"The Black Dragon is dead; you can all live freely from now on. The Spiritual Energy in this realm will gradually recover, the sea will not have high tides, and there will be no more crises."

After saying this to the Jingweis, Sun Wukong thought of Ying Long.

"Just to be safe, you'll stand guard over the sea, protect all beings here, and when the Heavenly Court is rebuilt, you shall receive boundless merit."

He assigned a task to Ying Long.

"At your command."

Ying Long quickly agreed.

It wanted to leave with Sun Wukong in its heart but knew that besides it, no one else was fit to guard the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.

Sun Wukong then said to Dayu: "With Ying Long guarding the sea, there will be no issues for a thousand years, you may rest assured."

He informed Dayu that the problems of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper had not been truly resolved.

The lands that had been submerged would not rise again, and the dead creatures would not be revived.

The order of the Brahma Void Heavenly Court was not independent; to truly save the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, he needed to visit more Star Palaces.

"The Heavenly Emperor can rest easy."

Dayu clasped his hands and said: "We will protect this place."

"Most virtuous."

Sun Wukong nodded and then called upon Immortal Zhenyuan, the two from Nan Ming, the Heavenly Horse, the Heavenly Dog, and left Yu Domain that very day.

Dayu and his company bid them farewell from the ground, looking forward to the day when the Heavenly Court would be reborn, and the Star Palaces would shine brightly again.
